Dance

Is Dance your passion? Do you daydream about choreography to the beats you hear on the radio? Working alongside your Artist in Residence, you will explore dance technique, enhancement, and stretch your skills as a dancer. At JCC Maccabi ArtsFest® you will be on your feet with a professional choreographer as you expand your movement vocabulary, learn new pieces, grow your dramatic and technical range, and perfect pieces that showcase your talent as a dancer and challenge you to learn something new. All of this hard work will go into performing these pieces in front of your peers at the JCC Maccabi® Final ArtsFest Showcase.
